search as it enters its 13th day. it's after a friend of missing teenager jay slater says he saw the 19 year old slipping on rocks during a video call on the day he vanished. in other news, reform uk leader nigel farage has insisted footage showing a racist comment made by a campaigner was a set up. andrew parker was seen making a series of offensive remarks about rishi sunak. he's now apologised but insists he was goaded into making them. rishi sunak condemned the racial slurs made against him and said it was part of a broader pattern of behaviour . part of a broader pattern of behaviour. labour leader sir keir starmer will pledge to introduce a new armed forces commissioner and lead a government of service if labour is elected. it comes as shadow defence secretary john healey says labour is now the natural party of defence. mr healey said his party will do better for soldiers and their families. the shadow defence secretary accused the tories of driving morale to

record lows and shrinking the army to its smallest size since the napoleonic war. >> britain will be stronger defended with labour. we will increase defence spending to 2.5. the last time britain spent 2.5% of our national income on defence was in 2010, with laboun defence was in 2010, with labour, and that was when the british army was still 100,000 strong and morale was at 60. and armed forces day, in a way, is a chance to set campaigning aside. and it's a day as you say, to mark the service, that those in uniform give to us all. >> meanwhile, the prime minister will hail the duty, dedication and selfless personal sacrifice of servicemen and women as he marks armed forces day. rishi sunak will claim his is the only party to meet the help for heroes veterans pledge. the pledge requires parties to commit to keeping the office for veterans affairs, commissioning an independent review of the medical discharge process and ensuring veterans get the

benefits and compensations they deserve. security minister tom tugendhat told gb news armed forces day is more than just one day a year. >> armed forces day, for those of us who are veterans, isn't just one day a year. it you know, we live with our service good and bad, throughout the year. good and bad, throughout the year . and for some of us, that year. and for some of us, that can be bring back painful memories. but it can also bring back huge moments of pride, of having served alongside some of the best that our country has to offer. look at the record. look at what johnny mercer has achieved as the minister for veterans affairs, and look at what the prime minister has achieved in creating that cabinet position for veterans affairs. we've got op resolute and op courage that help veterans who may be finding life just a little bit difficult . just a little bit difficult. >> a new portrait of his majesty the king in military uniform, has been released to mark armed forces day. in his new portrait, the king is wearing his field marshal number one ceremonial frock coat with medals, sword and decorations. it comes as queen camilla gave a rare national statement praising

rishi sunak in the north east visiting a school and a college. indeedi visiting a school and a college. indeed i didn't bump into him, folks. the shadow paymaster general , jonathan ashworth, was general, jonathan ashworth, was in south london talking about mortgages whilst the deputy labour leader , angela rayner, labour leader, angela rayner, was campaigning in scotland. >> liberal democrats leader sir ed davey was interviewed by bbc's nick robinson as part of the panorama series and reform uk leader nigel farage took part in a question time event on the bbc last night. >> amid that ongoing racism, row within the party, we'll be crossing live shortly to our political correspondent olivia utley, who was actually with sir keir starmer today. but we're going to get to our panel. first of all, the apprentice winner and entrepreneur marney swindells and the writer and podcaster louis oakley. good morning to the both of you. >> good morning. good morning. >> good morning. good morning. >> what have you made of it all last night? did you catch any of those debates and the discussions a little bit? >> i mean, i've seen a lot

throughout the day, obviously a lot on these comments that were made by this reform, well, he's a canvasser, isn't he? hands out the leaflets. it was a very interesting one because to think that reform was nothing a few, a few years ago. and, you know, we're polling really low just a few weeks ago. and now to see that, you know, in the final week of the campaign, they're really all anyone is talking about. i think it says a lot about, you know, what actually is possible in our party system, because you just would think it's always going to be about those two main parties, but actually reform have really bucked the trend there. >> and i mean, i'm sure you agree with this, emma. but marney, i wonder, do you think actually that the country's already voting like it's forgotten? the two party system? >> yes. >> yes. >> and i mean, just going back to what you said, i think there's i would echo what nigel farage said about the, the fact that rishi sunak is really leaning into this racism rule to try and bolster his own position. i think that he can't really be held accountable for what a volunteer canvasser said. and i know there's a lot of

contention around whether it was actor or not, whether it is or it isn't, he can't be held responsible. so i think it's, it is an attempt by the sunak team to really jade the perspective and reiterate those previous narratives that i think nigel farage is trying to move away from . from. >> do you think it says something about the performance of the other candidates that as you say, everyone is talking about reform, nobody is talking about reform, nobody is talking about any of the others who are participating in in these debates? >> yeah, i mean, keir starmer and rishi sunak both seem a little bit dull. i'm trying to be unbiased, his name's. no one can remember, it seems. yeah, i mean , look, i think the election mean, look, i think the election campaign overall, i just feel like the election campaign there should it should be really big discussions about how we want to live, how we want to be governed. and i just think it hasn't been it's been sleaze and this person said this and it's kind of, you know, we've gone to the lowest denominator of this. this leaf has been caught saying this like, can we talk about actual policies? i'm so annoyed that we haven't spent more time in this election cycle talking

about covid and lockdown and all of the consequences from that. surely that should be something that we talk about. but no, it's the oh no, someone said a nasty comment over here, which i'm not saying is right, but at the same time, like we need to focus. >> yeah, i couldn't agree more with that. louis, i think that we've lost sight of the manifestos. what's actually happening? what are the policies we're talking about over a volunteer canvasser who said something that may or may not have been a set up and we're really honing in on the detail and losing sight of the bigger picture. >> does the debate, though, in the states between joe biden and donald trump put some of this into perspective? because i mean, if people have been complaining that these debates have been quite mediocre, if you compare that to them, sort of quibbling over, over golf and the choice that the american people face. >> well, yeah, i mean, you looked at that debate, you just thought, oh my god, we thought we had problems. so, yeah, i mean, we're not there yet, but at least it was exciting, right? >> at least it gave you something to actually enjoy. we're always very theatrical country . one policy we have been

country. one policy we have been talking about, though, in this country is actually over. sir keir starmer's private school plans . and to bring vat on to plans. and to bring vat on to private school fees. now the telegraph report is yesterday that actually the european court could actually say that that impacts the right to education and therefore make it illegal in british law. and i thought , british law. and i thought, isn't that delicious? sir keir starmer, who loves the echr, suddenly you know, finds that his flagship policy might not be possible because of that very court . court. >> i mean, i think it's i and i come from a legal background. i think it's reaching to say that it would be a breach of human rights law. i think, i don't think i think it is compatible with human rights law. i think it would give parents a choice, a very difficult choice. especially for parents who are of more modest means just reaching the affordability of those private schools. but to say it would impede access or it would , deter people being able would, deter people being able to go to a private school. i

think i yeah, i don't think it's. >> nigel, nigel farage was saying last night that he was talking about this reform policy to change the tax band. so that only people earning £20,000 or above would pay tax. and so that would encourage people to get into work. and he was making the case that he's standing up for working people. what do you think of those who would argue that this vat raid on, on private schools is only going to hurt those that are kind of at the bottom? it's not going to it's not going to harm the eton's, the harrow's, the winchester's. it's going to harm those who work really, really hard to pay quite modest school fees to try and have more social mobility for their children. >> yeah, i it's a really odd. i do actually think this is quite a complex issue because on the one hand, part of me thinks, well, why should you not pay vat? but at the same time, sort of with people that have private health care, right. the idea is that actually where you freed up some space in the nhs, and i kind of get to a human place on

this schools thing. can you imagine being the child that has to leave your school, that you're settled in, that you've got friends, you know, maybe some bullying around all your parents aren't as rich as ours. like that's where i probably come to on that. and i think this is such an old fashioned way to look at education. there's so many new, exciting technologies. new. it's weird that we still teach them in sort of a victorian fashion. you know, teacher at the front, everyone sits in desks when we know that some kids learn more by doing physical activities, some kids are more visual, some kids can just sit and study from a book. why not focus on that rather than this? but i do think labour have set them. labour have set themselves a barometer, i think, because in the same way rishi sunak had his five pledges or whatever, we'll see what happens to this once they're allegedly in office as to if he can be a success. because you hear all this stuff now about labour are going to have a supermajority and unchecked superm ajority and unchecked power. supermajority and unchecked power. and i think, well, actually, i think that that could be more trouble for them than it's worth. look at the tories trying to manage an 80 seat majority and they all hate each other. and they've been fighting this whole time. so imagine him having this massive majority trying to get this

policy through, and they'll have so many people that are fighting him from the inside. it'll be an interesting one to watch, as if they'll actually be an effective government. >> and mani, a lot of people are saying, well, hang on a minute. you know, we pay vat on absolutely everything. if you had a drink on the way in to the studio today, you'd pay vat. and why shouldn't a wealthy people who send their kids to private schools pay vat on that too? >> i agree, and from a governmental perspective, i can totally see the benefit of that 20. i think it is fair. i think it's reasonable for them to say you need to pay vat on this, but it does go back to that point of who does it really harm. and as you said, there's this, perhaps a misconception, perhaps not, but this idea that everybody goes to private school is extremely wealthy, and the extra 20% won't really bother them. but there are parents out there who are really worked hard to give their kids their best shot. and i think, as you said, they will be the ones that are affected, and i think it will come down to choice what parents can afford to do and what they what they choose to do, whether they the kids then go back to

state school. >> and one of the one of the things that hasn't been discussed very much during this election campaign, i think there are lots of subjects like net zero, for example, that haven't really got the attention they deserve, given how significant thatis deserve, given how significant that is for a large proportion of the population. one of the subjects that hasn't really been covered policy wise is the armed forces hasn't received very much attention. so it's armed forces day. and we just saw on the news there, queen camilla's address to the address to the british people. quite unusual, isn't it, to hear her actually speaking. i thought for a moment there. i didn't know that that's what her voice sounded like. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you feel that sometimes with some of the royals when you speak, then you realise. oh, actually, i didn't really. i've not recognised your voice, but really nice to see her there. being in that position, really giving that thanks to everyone in the armed forces. i think it's a really nice thing to have seen and you know , she's had to seen and you know, she's had to jump seen and you know, she's had to jump in quite a lot over the last year and i think it was a really nice message. >> i think it's nice to see her stepping into now represent the monarch. i think as a country of princess diana lovers, seeing

camilla now sort of take the mantle and is getting to that place of acceptance of her, i think showing the unity behind the monarch. i think, is a good thing to say. it's a good place to go . to go. >> right. let's have a watch of that clip again of the queen consort camilla, times of war. >> and in times of peace, whether seen or unseen, our armed forces support and strengthen our nation . you're strengthen our nation. you're a source of inspiration , source of inspiration, reassurance and pride, and i salute you all. >> i mean, it's a very lovely message, but i dare say, right when she was camilla shand, that she didn't expect to have quite as many roles and responsibilities as she does now , given that his majesty the king and the princess of wales are both battling cancer and she's having to really pick up a lot of the duties and responsibilities, i think that's a testament of love. >> it's what you have to do is to step in and, you know, really take the reins when you have to. so i think she's faring well, but it's early days of her in

that role. and let's see the longevity of that. >> and her father was in the armed forces. major bruce shand who was awarded the military cross and bar for acts of exemplary gallantry in the second world war. so, you know, i think across the royal family there is a deep, deep connection to the armed forces. oh, yeah. >> you know , they mean it. >> you know, they mean it. they're not saying this just because they have to. they really do care. you can tell it's a true passion that that all of them have got and in some form that they've all been involved in it. and actually, harry, he's also made a comeback in, in a sense by, his involvement with this charity that looks out for young people who have been bereaved of a of a parent in an armed conflict. >> so it's interesting to see sort of that, that unites the royal family, even with those who no longer have official. >> i think, i think it's i think the monarch and, and the royals are synonymous with service . and are synonymous with service. and that goes and that extends as

far as all the armed services. and from a very 360 perspective. >> so why are you both here and not at glassdoor? >> i've never been to glassdoor , >> i've never been to glassdoor, i've never been to and i have no interest in it really . yeah. interest in it really. yeah. >> i have no great stories to tell for people who have never been to glastonbury. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, it just doesn't seem appealing to i don't want to go anywhere where i have to sleep. there either. in the mud. absolutely not. yeah, i don't mind a day festival where you can sort of go and leave and go home, but yeah, staying there, but, they're having problems because apparently, young is it young rock ? they can't find any young rock? they can't find any young rock? they can't find any young rock? they can't find any young rock acts to go anymore . young rock acts to go anymore. i'm not sure why that is, whether rock is just having a moment where people are just not that interested in it. or is maybe glasto has become so mainstream now that they kind of see it too much of the mainstream that they want to go and play in some edgy bar in east london, i don't know. >> do you think it's a gen z thing? i mean, i'm guessing none of us are sort of like late millennials, but that they the music in that generation seems to kind of you get a flash in

the pan of like online fame, but you don't have these legacy bandsin you don't have these legacy bands in the same way as you used to. maybe a couple of decades ago. >> absolutely. i was just going to say that there's no superstars anymore. you know, when i think of festivals, i do think of rock. i think of them getting wild and crazy and doing all sorts of mad things, and i think of those big bands, the big names, and you just don't get that anymore. i think perhaps the, the rise of the internet has meant it's a bit easier for everybody to platform themselves. do you think, get less, do you think that's going to have an effect on the future of festivals? >> if you see sort of those big legacy bands getting on a bit and there's no no new, no new acts are coming up? underneath them, and you have all of this sort of like ai music. >> oh, yeah, i think, i think we're going to see that across all of entertainment. you know, even with like, acting and films. now, i think, you know, the internet allows you to be in your own little bubble so you can watch the people that are the influencers, you like, the music you like and all of that

stuff . and so meet, you know, stuff. and so meet, you know, remember when we grew up with like four channels? so it's like you had the nation's attention. now there are like millions of channels. and i think it's the same with music, but i think it'll be more you know, you're seeing this now with like, hologram performances. so you probably have a curated concert that you plan yourself. you're like, i want that person, that person, that person, and you load their holograms and you just you invite people to your own. you've got it all right out . trademark it. now. >> i think it will be, an evolution of festivals. i don't think it'll be a death festivals. i do think there'll just be, as there has been just this ongoing evolution and change, but it's sad to see i you know, when i grew up, there was these iconic people, these stars that you followed, you loved, you backed. and it's a little sad to see that descend, all right, marnie and lewis, thank you very much. we're going to go as promised to olivia utley, who i believe is in hampshire . oh, well, we are hampshire. oh, well, we are going to get to olivia utley, there she is . there she is. >> she is. hi, olivia. >> she is. hi, olivia. >> magic olivia utley .

>> magic olivia utley. >> magic olivia utley. >> hello, darren. yes, i am here in hampshire, where keir starmer has been doing a coffee morning with veterans for armed forces day, we got a question with him after that coffee morning. i actually went a little off piste. i didn't ask about veterans. i asked about single—sex spaces. keir starmer has said over, over and over again that biological women will have single—sex spaces under the labour government as protected by the equality act. but when i asked him to clarify the details on that, couldn't really get a clear answer. let's have a listen to what he had to say. >> it's already guaranteed in the equalities act and we will double down on those spaces for women, biological women, because we've long championed them and they're very, very important. >> so to clarify, in practice that would mean that a

transgender woman with a penis would have to use the men's bathroom . bathroom. >> look, i want to ensure yes or no. sorry. i do want to ensure that whatever the facility, it is a safe and secure place for women . and that is why we've women. and that is why we've long championed women's spaces and nothing we're proposing changes. any of that. thank you . changes. any of that. thank you. >> so i asked him at the beginning there whether women's biological women's spaces would be protected under a labour government. and as you saw, he said, yes, they would be protected, as stated in the equalities act . obviously, that equalities act. obviously, that means that if a transgender woman with a penis wanted to use the women's bathroom, according to what keir starmer said , they to what keir starmer said, they would not be allowed to do that. but when i asked him to clarify on that, i still didn't get a clear answer. i couldn't get a yes or no answer out of him. this has been a huge problem for keir starmer for the whole of this campaign, and i think there

will be lots and lots of women, lots of women who are labour party members and voters like jk rowling herself, who once upon a time gave a huge sum of money to tom watson, former deputy labour leader's leadership campaign, who will be afraid to vote labourin who will be afraid to vote labour in this election because they're they're scared that keir starmer won't stand up for women's rights . women's rights. >> yeah, olivia, it's becoming quite the problem actually for the labour party isn't it. >> that particular extremely equivocal. >> it's one way of putting it all right olivia utley there. >> thank you very much. we'll be coming back to you throughout the day for updates on that . the day for updates on that. >> and coming up, we'll be taking a look at all of the viral political moments from this week's election campaign, as polling day draws closer. this is saturday morning live on gb news, britain's news channel

for the liberal democrat leader. but i think overall , the lib but i think overall, the lib dems will be pleased that he's starting to get some attention. there was a poll out last week which found that only a third of voters knew who sir ed davey was. i mean, it's a cringe, it's a cringe worthy, it's a cringe worthy moment. but there is a real problem for the liberal democrats party is that many, many people, most voters don't know who the liberal democrat leader is. and that's that's an issue. and as you have when you have a general election, only one man could be prime minister. it's either sunak or starmer. and with farage entering the contest as well, it becomes a real squeeze on sir ed davey. i just want to watch the actual video of it because we saw a little preview there, but, let's see the actual clip . see the actual clip. >> stephen and . anne. stayin >> stephen and. anne. stayin alive, stayin alive , blah blah alive, stayin alive, blah blah blah blah blah , stayin alive. blah blah blah, stayin alive. and then let's go back to that itv preview. we had there. i

mean, that looks quite different, doesn't it? yes, so the camera angles are important. i'm sure viewers at home can understand now why we played both clips. there just to give you a real insight into what was going on on a more serious note, is it the case that any attention is good attention for the liberal democrats? >> because surely this sort of thing is going to backfire? people like the same as falling off the paddle board. people are just going to think this is silly. this is not a serious party and a serious leader. yes, i think there is a danger that, of course this is negative. >> i get it right. but if you think about it, ed davey is now quite close to being the leader of the opposition. you know, if you look at the polls, he's he's you look at the polls, he's he's you know, if you look at some of the mrp polls, the liberal democrats are only five, ten seats behind the conservatives. he could very well end up in opposition. and with nigel farage in the contest as well, it is difficult for ed davey and lib dems to get some attention, and that's why you've seen him. do i mean, this isn't like the clips viral right ? we get it.

clips viral right? we get it. but the reason he's done cpr, the reason he fell off a paddleboard, the reason he went on a roller coaster is because he needs to try and get attention. otherwise he's going to go the same. otherwise he would go the same way as nick clegg went in 2015 when lib dems went from 50 odd seats all the way down to ten, it was absolutely decimated. >> five years after cleggmania five years old. >> but but the funny thing is, you know, nobody in westminster for the past five years has thought as ed davey as sort of coming up on the rails and taking on starmer and sunak. he hasn't been the big inspirational leader. having said that, he's now starting to get some cut through. that's important. and he could end up. the lib dems could end up with an astonishing result which sees, you know, ed davey at prime ministers questions facing off against keir starmer, not the next leader of the conservative party. >> yes. >> yes. >> now we've got green party leaflets that have been doing the rounds as well. we've got a clip of those to let people know what you're talking about. so thinking of voting labour, it says, i'll ask ed, thinking of voting labour. absolutely. so these are green party leaflets

that have been posted out and people are labour party supporters are actually using them to say another spectacular, spectacular backfire. >> but they look like labour party leaflets, don't they? because they've got the union flag. keir starmer has made a great play on the fact that he's changed the party. he's made it a patriotic party and you've got and it looks like, you know, they've just filled in the blanks, haven't they. labour, labour canvassers, labour campaigners. and it reminds me of another leaflet that was sent to me by a conservative strategist from the beginning of the campaign, which was a tory leaflet which at the top had a load of blurb about the differences between the conservatives and labour, and then underneath had an image of keir starmer as lord kitchener, with your country needs you and labour needs you. and the complaint was that actually when you look at this leaflet, all people are going to do before they throw it in the bin or throw it away is see the image of keir starmer looking like lord kitchener, asking them to vote labour. so you've got to be really careful with these leaflets, exactly what the pitch

is and mistakes do happen and it's happened. >> i think it would remind them of the idea for conscription. i think that keir starmer wants them to join up for the army. but while we're on the subject of keir starmer, he's been doing some pottery, hasn't he? >> yes, he's been doing some pottery with keith brymerjones, who is the judge in the great pottery throw down. and of course, this was in a key west midlands battleground. and actually we've seen and i was just thinking about this in terms of thinking back to the beginning of the campaign. some of the photocalls that rishi sunak did you think about when he asked the, the when he was amongst some welsh people and he asked them about the football and how badly it went. this is this was a blueprint of how to do a political photocall , do a political photocall, because keir starmer, like rishi sunak, isn't a massively outgoing, bubbly person, but they've paired him along side a really bubbly television personality. and it goes and it works really well. and they're talking. the small talk isn't about something inane topic. they're actually talking about the policy of trying to get more people into the creative

industries. part of keir starmer's growth plan. this is a blueprint , starmer's growth plan. this is a blueprint, if i may say, you know, be fair to labour about how you do a political photocall. it worked well for keir starmer. he was paired alongside somebody who's got lots to say for themselves and then they had the narrative, didn't they? was stamping the stamping it with change. and that of course fits . it was that of course fits. it was well, it was well worked. it was well, it was well worked. it was well run. you can't fault labour for the way they've they've managed that compared to the conservatives at the beginning. and it just shows actually we talk a lot about the politicians in all of this about how starmer is performing or sunak performing, but a lot of this comes down to how well are their teams performing, how well organised are they, how well thought through are their events? what are they thinking about their narrative ? and i about their narrative? and i would say that just looking, comparing the two teams, put the leaders to one side for a minute. i think labour's team in preparing starmer have actually done a great job. and i think all the way back to the d—day commemorations, starmer stayed. there'd be much more on top of the detail. they'd known what they're doing, known how to

execute it. and i think that has shone through much more so, in fact, than actually starmer versus sunak or something else that's been a wee bit gimmicky. >> is rishi sunak doing this video about football? yeah, i think we've got a clip of that actually. >> lineker. lineker lineker or shearer? shearer, shearer or le tissier , le tissier, le tissier tissier, le tissier, le tissier or lampard, le tissier, le tissier or saka , le tissier, le tissier or saka, le tissier, le tissier or saka, le tissier, le tissier or saka, le tissier, le tissier or rooney ? tissier or rooney? >> the physio, le tissier or bellingham ? bellingham? >> bellingham. bellingham or beckham? >> oh . >> oh. >> oh. >> oh, gosh . beckham. >> oh, gosh. beckham. >> oh, gosh. beckham. >> beckham or more. beckham beckham or kane? okay >> loves . letitia. >> loves. letitia. >> loves. letitia. >> southampton. >> southampton. >> yeah , exactly. but i mean he >> yeah, exactly. but i mean he was trying to stress that point a little bit too hard i think. >> yes, i think i'm a little bit older than you guys. right so i don't do tiktok. i've never used

tiktok, but i would have thought that tiktok would for be the younger generation. but there are only three members of the current england squad in that tiktok video. so was bellingham, saka and kane . and i would have saka and kane. and i would have thought that if you're trying to appeal to the younger generation, you'd be asking questions about footballers who are playing. we've got euro 24 going on that you'd be asking about more players in the squad rather than talking about footballers who most people who watch tiktok or engage with tiktok probably haven't heard of. >> don't these gimmicks, though, seem a bit cynical because they are . they're so unrelated to are. they're so unrelated to politics and policy that they are very explicitly just trying to show i'm relatable. i'm like you. and even in rishi sunak's accent, it sounds like he's talking about an artist rather than a footballer, doesn't it? the way he pronounces le tissier, but does that really? actually, you know, communicate with people? does that actually hit home, even if, even if they're getting the demographic wrong? and in doing tiktok

videos? but does does that sort of cynicism cut through and make people actually sort of step back from them rather than, feel as if they can sort of feel more represented by them? >> i think that sunak, his core vote strategy is to go for older. the older demographic. we've seen that with the national service announcement, with the pensions announcements, that that's what they need to be doing. and i just having looked at that video, you could see that in the content in terms of the questions he was being asked. there was a pairing with that in terms of looking to footballers of yesteryear , footballers of yesteryear, right? even if alan shearer, letitia rooney, so forth . but letitia rooney, so forth. but the platforms tiktok, which is for younger voters and i didn't, i didn't quite understand , you i didn't quite understand, you know, you could get let's say you could get rishi sunak in if you could get rishi sunak in if you wanted to do that sort of quick fire round, get him sat down with chris hope, right. get chris hope asking the questions to your audience. and that would be a better platform than reverting to something that younger people use and would go

be their go to . and you've seen be their go to. and you've seen that starmer did a very, very personal interview when he was talking about somebody laughing about his dad being a toolmaker dunng about his dad being a toolmaker during one of the debates. and he did that with chris hope and that was a moment, actually, which i think is actually quite a good thing when you get that, although i did think that was silly. >> i don't think anyone was actually laughing at his father's, but at least you, at least i get it. >> but i take that point. but actually, i liked seeing some emotion from starmer, even if i didn't necessarily relate to that emotion. it was nice to see him get angry, get see it in his face that he was there was something that had cut a nerve because actually, as a human being in there. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> i feel usher with that. >> i feel usher with that. >> thank you very much for that analysis. now coming up, folks, we'll be speaking to a former member of the metropolitan police as a renewed search operation has been launched in tenerife for that missing teen, jay slater. this is saturday morning live on gb news, where britain's news channel

a very warm welcome back. thank you very much for your company. now, folks, a new large scale search for the missing teenager. jay slater started this morning. police called for volunteers to help with the search, which began at 9 am. local time in the village of masca, close to jay's last known location. >> the 19 year old, from lancashire , vanished on the 17th lancashire, vanished on the 17th of june in tenerife. since then, a gofundme page has been set up with over £40,000 worth of donations to help find him. yeah, and this case has, of course attracted a lot of conspiracy theorists on social media and intense speculation as to jay's whereabouts. >> well, joining us now to discuss this is the online safety expert and ex covert internet investigator for the

met police jonathan taylor. jonathan, that's a role that isn't going anywhere any time soon. internet investigation just how important is the internet in this actual case, yes. good morning. it's very important . unfortunately, the important. unfortunately, the internet seems to get taken over by trolls in the sense that lots of disinformation comes out and now you've got things like ai that can create, let's say false sightings, if you will. the fact is that social media can be very helpful in this case. however, in particular because we're talking about the disappearance in the if not the middle of nowhere, there isn't going to be much social. there's not gonna be much internet activity up there apart from what we now know of from, his friend brad hargreaves, who said he did contact. well, jay contacted him and he was able to say that he seemed to be on a gravel path or gravel road rather than a tarmac type road. so, yeah, the internet gets used in many ways and can be used for good, but it

can also be used by the individuals who want to put out conspiracy theories. there which hopefully the police will be just ignoring. >> does internet sleuthing ever hinder investigations like this ? hinder investigations like this? >> yes and no. it hinders in the sense of, the public getting involved. what i mean by that is they're involved, obviously, with the internet, however, it can be very , very useful, but can be very, very useful, but hindering even in my time when i was working all those years ago. yeah. the public would get involved and they would, they'd be these false sightings and missing person cases, or they'd be false allegations, etc. so it does hinder, does get in the way of the police investigations because everything has to be looked at and everything has to be judged on its own merit. but i do say i hope they tend to ignore it. but what you would tend to have is like a small department of, good detectives and investigators and intelligence officers be able to say , well, we can ignore these

say, well, we can ignore these types of things. you've just got to go back to nicola bulley and see what happened there. the fact that it was so easy for people to, turn up at the scene and start filming themselves, whether you want to call them tiktok talkers or influencers or they're going to be there and they're going to be there and they can get in the way, it's slightly different here because of the location . we know there's of the location. we know there's already lots of people going out there . you've got one very, there. you've got one very, eminent tiktoker who's actually doing some of the routes and climbing. he's out there, but he's obviously been welcomed by the family, apparently. so with that case, as it can help. but yeah, the it does tend to get in the way of a lot of investigations. >> and jonathan, sorry . >> and jonathan, sorry. >> and jonathan, sorry. >> that's right. do you, is there a part of that that you mentioned the tiktok trend and the way in which actually that's keeping up the profile of this case, but how many people actually go missing like this every single year , you know, in every single year, you know, in your line of work, were you deaung your line of work, were you dealing with a lot of missing person cases? >> and actually the year we've

all been talking about how the fact that his instagram account was logged into and all these other things and actually, because that's part of daily life now we are focusing on these things a hell of a lot more. but just how common are missing persons in general, miss missing persons in general, miss missing people , you're talking missing people, you're talking hundreds of thousands a year will go missing. does it mean they stay missing? now that's quite few and far between. but in a sense of that's a percentage of how many people actually go missing. one thing you mentioned there is about the, the, the social media aspect of it, and it can help it really can help the fact that we're able to ping as you keep heanng we're able to ping as you keep hearing these, the phones and you can see the last known activity. and it's a real shame in this sense that we've actually got a phone that's batteries died. and we know that from jay slater himself. but yeah , it's one of these things yeah, it's one of these things we know hundreds of thousands go missing and they can be found. and that's where we now know technology can really help. you know, the fact that we've got location services , we've got location services, we've got gps. even one of his friends

said, turn your location on so i know where you will with things like snapchat and instagram, the fact that you can automatically see and you can get a pin to see the location. so technology plays its part in finding a lot of people. and some people might say, well, it's a shame that the gps trackers aren't used more for good rather than in fact , for good rather than in fact, sometimes we do get concerned with all the issues around , with all the issues around, things like the tracking in awful stalking cases . awful stalking cases. >> yeah. thank you. i feel like we could talk about this much, much more. i've got more questions, but unfortunately, we don't have time for them. so thank you very much. but still to come, we'll be going live to glastonbury festival, where showbiz journalist stephanie tacchi will give us the latest. this is saturday morning live

gb. news welcome back to saturday morning

live. don't forget to keep sending me and darren questions about. questions questions about topics in the news this week. and we'll chat through them with our panel guests. indeed. >> let's have a look at what you've been saying. >> my tongue in a tie there, didn't i? >> you're doomed , well, one >> you're doomed, well, one thing that got my eyes and i wanted them to be bound in some way. so i couldn't see this site of ed davey pumping away. there and cheryl said i spat my tea out, watching ed davey in that clip. >> i laughed out loud at that. cheryl, i, i think we're with you. >> we're with you. absolutely with you. i'm sure you won't be alone. >> and, john says it's a shame that the dummy couldn't vote for the lib dems. i think . oh, the lib dems. i think. oh, that's unkind john. right. we've got, that time of year again, haven't we, emma? >> yeah, it's glastonbury . so >> yeah, it's glastonbury. so now, officially, on wednesday, 200,000 people, festival goers

arrived at worthy farm in somerset. >> indeed, the festival started in earnest last night with dua lipa headlining the pyramid stage tonight , though, it's the stage tonight, though, it's the turn of coldplay. well joining us live from the heart of glastonbury festival right now is the showbiz journalist stephanie takyi stephanie. thank you very much for your company, coldplay tonight. i mean , coldplay tonight. i mean, they've done it once or twice before, haven't they , darren? before, haven't they, darren? >> they've done it five times. this will be their sixth time headlining the pyramid stage. glasto fans are used to think, coldplay get on stage. their first performance here was back in 2002. and you know, we're now in 2002. and you know, we're now in 2024. and during that time they've just had such a wealth of music. you know, the line—up did get a lot of criticism in terms of nothing, adding nothing new to the line—up, but with coldplay, you find that they're a very pair of safe hands, and i'm sure the crowd will have a lot of singalong moments with them tonight. as well. >> yeah, and dua lipa yesterday

i mean, i saw some of it, steph and she was, she was really good actually. but you were convinced steph with your beady little eye, that she wasn't actually singing. >> well, you know what dua lipa was always going to be the wild card. you know, for headlining the stage. you know, glasto is trying to get more women performing on the pyramid stage and there were moments when i was watching her and i could see she was out of sync. but you know what? that does not take away from the incredible show she did put on. you know, she had three hours worth of dancing and choreography. so you can't always maintain that high level of singing once you are performing at that high intensity. and she was quite entertaining, and most of the crowd knew her music as well . crowd knew her music as well. >> yeah. and then tonight you've got, shania twain and cyndi laupen got, shania twain and cyndi lauper, so you've got the old legends performing, but not too many younger rock performers. >> apparently . >> apparently. >> apparently. >> well, that's the thing about glastonbury. glastonbury is supposed to appeal to all different types of music lovers. there's 105 stages here, so you

know , if you're not in the know, if you're not in the music, al fayed not in the mood for dua lipa. there's so many different artists who were sprinkled along. yes, tomorrow shania twain will be performing in the legendary set, while cyndi lauper will be looking after things on the pyramid stage this afternoon . but stage this afternoon. but there's a few surprises in terms of this mystery band that they're saying is going to be performing today. so a lot of people are waiting to see who that will be. >> yeah, exactly. steph, i bet you're scanning through every tent to try and find out some clues there on that. but steph, we'll get updates from you later on in the day. thank you very much to stephanie takyi from glastonbury there. >> we've got lots more to come up >> we've got lots more to come up in the next hour, including more of today's top stories and chef paul ainsworth joins us live from his kitchen. >> that's right. we're celebrating national cream tea day . don't go anywhere. we're day. don't go anywhere. we're going to have a scrap over that. apparently we're the first. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news

defence secretary john healey says labour is now the natural party of defence. mr healey said his party will do better by soldiers and their families. meanwhile, the labour leader praised army personnel but refused to commit to a 2.5% defence spend . defence spend. >> we do want to get to 2.5% and it's really important that that's consistent with fiscal rules . the first thing we will rules. the first thing we will do is carry out a strategic review of resources of capability to make sure that the money we are spending is spent effectively on the things that we need. but today is armed forces day, so it is the opportunity to say thank you to all of those who are serving and have served , and to remember the have served, and to remember the contribution that they have made to our country. >> meanwhile, the prime minister will hail the duty, dedication and selfless personal sacrifice of servicemen and women as he marks armed forces day. rishi sunak will claim his is the only

party to meet the help for heroes veterans pledge. the pledge requires parties to commit to keeping the office for veterans affairs, commissioning and independent review of the medical discharge process, and ensuring veterans get the benefits and compensations they deserve. security minister tom tugendhat told gb news. armed forces day is more than just one day a year. >> armed forces day for those of us who are veterans, isn't just one day a year. it, you know, we live with our service good and bad, throughout the year. and for some of us, that can be bnng for some of us, that can be bring back painful memories. but it can also bring back huge moments of pride, of having served alongside some of the best that our country has to offer. look at the record. look at what johnny mercer has achieved as the minister for veterans affairs, and look at what the prime minister has achieved in creating that cabinet position for veterans affairs . we've got op resolute affairs. we've got op resolute and op courage that help veterans who may be finding life just a little bit difficult. >> a new portrait of his majesty the king in military uniform has been released to mark armed forces day. in his new portrait,

final weekend of the general election campaign is upon us as next thursday, the country goes to the polls. >> it was another busy day on the campaign trail yesterday, with rishi sunak and the north east visiting a school and a college. >> yeah, shadow paymaster general jonathan ashworth was in south london talking about mortgages, while deputy labour leader angela rayner was campaigning in scotland while liberal democrat leader sir ed davey was interviewed by the bbc's nick robinson as part of the panorama series , and reform the panorama series, and reform uk leader nigel farage took part in a question time event on the bbc last night. amid that ongoing racism, row in the party. now we'll cross live shortly to our political correspondent olivia utley. we're going to actually get her early and you know , nothing early and you know, nothing nicer than going early to olivia utley with sir keir starmer today. now, olivia, have you just gotten off the bus or something like that? have you you've been with him so far. >> hello. i've, i've actually

just been at an event in the south—east of england with keir starmer. as you heard in the news there, it is armed forces day and keir starmer spent the morning to talking veterans. the labour party is very keen to pitch itself as the party of defence, but they won't commit to that 2.5% of gdp spending rise , which rishi sunak says he rise, which rishi sunak says he would aim to do by 2030. i also asked keir starmer about his commitment to single—sex spaces. this is an issue which has dogged him for the entire election campaign, and even today it was pretty hard to get a straight answer. let's have a listen to what he had to say . listen to what he had to say. >> it's already guaranteed in the equalities act and we will double down on those spaces for women , biological women, because women, biological women, because we've long championed them and they're very, very important. >> so to clarify, in practice that would mean that a transgender woman with a penis would have to use the men's bathroom. >> look , i want to ensure yes or >> look, i want to ensure yes or no. sorry. i do want to ensure

that whatever the facility, it is a safe and secure place for women. and that is why we've long championed women's spaces and nothing we're proposing changes. any of that . thank you . changes. any of that. thank you. >> so in theory, keir starmer stands behind biological women having their own single—sex spaces. but in practice , it spaces. but in practice, it doesn't sound like the labour party would stop transgender women with male body parts using women's bathrooms. will that answer be good enough for the swathes of labour women up and down the country, who have lost support for the labour party over the last few weeks? we'll find out on general election day. >> thank you olivia. now we're going to leave that subject behind because there's such a lot that we could talk about covering all of the political news at the moment, but we're delighted to be joined now by

the apprentice winner and entrepreneur marnie swindells and writer and podcaster louis oakley. thank you for joining and writer and podcaster louis oakley. thank you forjoining us oakley. thank you for joining us again today in the second hour. so leaving all of that political , chat behind, i want to veer us off onto a very, very different course to this quite extraordinary headline, fat kids, donkey danger. apparently the owner of a seaside donkey ride business has said he's been forced to weigh children before letting them ride his animals due to rising obesity. presumably to save the backs of the donkeys. is the obesity crisis with children really that bad? >> oh, what a difficult one. i mean, i mean, just like you go on a ride, you have to be a certain height. i can understand why you might need to be a certain weight to ride the donkey, but , how difficult for donkey, but, how difficult for those kids who , perhaps through those kids who, perhaps through no fault of their own, they're overweight and have to be left out of that pleasure. >> how long is accused of fat phobia or something like that ? phobia or something like that? >> well, it's an interesting one, isn't it, because you've got the parents that'll be

saying you can't do this to children, but then you'll have the animal rights people that'll be saying, you can't do this to the donkey. so who knows who'll win with that one? look, as a dad with three kids, i really hate criticising other parents because i think we're all just trying to do the best we can. but if your kid is too overweight that they're being refused a donkey ride, it is time to think about how much they're eating and how much they're eating and how much they're exercising given. >> given that we don't know the thresholds for what donkeys can take, i would imagine it's quite high, as you said, for it to be to that extent that a child is so obese that you're having to weigh it, where the child then ? weigh it, where the child then? >> yeah, i think does it even happen much anymore, though? do you see many donkeys on seaside? >> no, actually i don't. >> no, actually i don't. >> when was the last time you went to the british seaside? >> well, you know, i can't remember the last time i was in, say, blackpool or scarborough, but i don't think i've seen donkey. >> no, i feel like i feel like seeing a donkey at the seaside now would be quite a bougie. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> really? >> really? >> well you don't you don't want his future generations to have sort of morphed the, the classic phrase into the child that broke

the donkey's back. >> indeed, indeed. >> indeed, indeed. >> and the other fun story that i quite like, this, story from marks and spencer, actually , marks and spencer, actually, emma, which is that they are going to start mending clothing that you've had, whether it be knitwear or zips and things like that, and mending it so you can wear it again, because we do have such a throwaway culture these days and don't do it. i mean , gone is the art of mean, gone is the art of actually being able to do that yourself. >> well, i think that it's two things that have come together, isn't it? we've got fast fashion and the trends change constantly. you can get everything delivered to your house, so it's cheaper than it ever was. so fine in, in, in, but then, as you say, no one really knows how to sew their own things. and i think as you get older and your grandparents start to go and you're like, oh, i don't have my nan here to fix, fix this. so i've got, i've got a coat actually, that's hung up in the wardrobe that is ripped. it has a rip under the arm, and i'm like, i need to fix that someday somehow. so now. so so now i can just take it to marks and spencer's. so i think it's good. and i think that we should

be holding on to signature items for as long as as we can and try and not. i think too much fast fashion. >> yeah. i think the overarching message is to, you know, look after things that are important to you. don't just discard them and throw them away. hold on to them. and as you said, when you've got a classic piece, if you've got a classic piece, if you can, look after that and get it amended, then that's definitely the way forward. i think it's a huge step in the right direction to combat this fast fashion culture that we've got. i mean, people are so reckless with it now. it's every day deliveries. so yeah, i like this move . and i actually didn't this move. and i actually didn't realise it was as popular as it was. i was reading an article and selfridges do it. there's some other brands that do it, the h&m group do it, net—a—porter do it so it feels like all of these brands and these retailers are really moving into that space. and i think that's a fantastic idea. >> i definitely use it because, i'm always constantly tearing my clothes and i can't . so but do clothes and i can't. so but do you think that maybe people should be learning to how sew themselves as well? i mean, obviously for some things you need a professional to sort of step in. and if you need your shoes fixed or something's really quite severely needs

patched up. >> yeah, quite. i'm actually surprised that that hasn't taken off as a bit of a trend. >> you would think nowadays people could just if they don't know how to sew, you could just watch something on youtube or instagram and kind of figure it out and then post the before and after . so i feel like that out and then post the before and after. so i feel like that is a trend that will definitely come where people are like, rediscover those old skills, feel that they just don't want to mess something up, particularly if you've got , if particularly if you've got, if you're the sort of thing that you're the sort of thing that you would mend, wouldn't be a fast fashion or just don't have the time. >> it's nice to have that return, though. you know, they say like fashion is circular and you always go back. it'd be nice for us to go back to the way we treated fashion as well, where, you know, old jackets get repaired. and i think it's a really nice return to some really nice return to some really good values. yeah. >> and the king was talking about him with it being armed forces day today. the king wears suits that he's had since he was, you know, prince of wales. goodness only knows . goodness only knows. >> lots of people have been pointing out kate wears things over and over again, and it shouldn't be that much of a i always think you, you attach, i know when i was in the apprentice, i've got outfits that i wore that were really

significant to me now, and they mean something. >> so having things that are clothing that has sentiment, i think getting that repaired rather than just throwing it out is the right thing to do. >> now, very quickly, let's talk about this slightly more serious subject, sort of crossover. two things that, you know, maybe quite sinister. so bill gates has claimed that artificial intelligence may be of more help than a hindrance to achieving climate change goals as a crossover . yeah, this climate change goals as a crossover. yeah, this is very contentious. >> well, i think three because also bill gates is a topic in himself , but also bill gates is a topic in himself, but i agree with him on this one. >> actually broken clock and all that, i think i could solve these things and i almost think, well, isn't this if you look at the history of the human, race, like, you know, it's our ingentu like, you know, it's our ingenuity that's got us out of trouble in the past, not. oh, well, we'll just have to make heating more expensive and we'll we'll go back to caveman days, which is what it feels like. some people are sort of proposing now. it's about finding technology and building technology that can suck the carbon out of the air atmosphere. if that's what we

need to do, build new, electricity, if that's what we need to do. so i think that actually we're we're on the money with this. let ai solve the day. >> i don't know if i'm with you on that, lewis. i don't know if i'm with you. i agree with things that are so data centric, and i imagine the climate change industry, there's a lot of numbers and things to deal with. so i can see why ai coming in would be hugely beneficial in tackling that. but ai is a concept i am quite terrified of . concept i am quite terrified of. i think it is a portal to creating a really lazy approach to doing things. i have friends that, rather than tackle an email and really try and navigate what they're trying to say, just ai it and i think we're losing a sense of skill that people need to. people really need to understand how to communicate . communicate. >> so don't you think 30 years ago people would have said that about handwriting? oh, i just want people to have nice handwriting. and now we type everything. and i think it's the same with emails. >> nice handwriting. well, there's definitely a sense of evolution and technology changes like we've seen about glastonbury earlier. >> and you mentioned about

holograms. things. do change, things evolve. but ai seems to be a law unto itself. and where that will go without understanding completely the trajectory of it. this is i'm scared. what you are right about this is the problem with with technology is that we need to decide what we want it to do. >> we need to have a vision for it. if you look at social media, which i think is really harmed, our discourse and our culture, we just, you know, we went from being able to text a friend to being able to text a friend to being able to text a friend to being able to text the world and we'll call it tweeting. we'll add a picture and you can speak to anyone. and there was no thought in it. i think with al we need to decide, okay, what do we need to decide, okay, what do we want it to do? okay. we want it to try and find new technologies that can be greener, more efficient and all that kind of stuff. decide on those things and if we don't want it to write people's emails for them, then we have to, you know, put those provisions in now and have a vision for it. >> well, i thought an area of criticism for bill gates here. obviously, he's a climate fanatic. right. and he drives around in his private jet and all the rest of it, lecturing the rest of us. >> the idea of him driving a private jet. >> no, and he's arguing here

that it'll help with climate goals. but if it was so serious , goals. but if it was so serious, these data centres are requiring a hell of a lot of energy, loads of energy. and microsoft is form a company. stands to raise quite a company. stands to raise quite a lot of money out of these things. and call me cynical. >> well, he's saying in this piece it's just 6. it's a 6% rise that the that it'll be an energy for, for running ai. and he's basically saying and that'll be offset by the fact that'll be offset by the fact that al that'll be offset by the fact that ai will create new technologies that will sort it out. >> i'm not convinced. >> i'm not convinced. >> no, i haven't convinced anyone. >> no. >> no. >> i am with you on al. to be honest, i just find bill gates a bit of a hypocrite. >> yeah, no, i agree with that. not with you. >> not with you. well, thank you, thank you, lewis and mani. so still to come, we'll be joined by chef paul ainsworth live from his kitchen to talk about the wonderful british cream tea. one of my favourites. plus we'll cross live to glastonbury festival, but up next, it's been another busy week for the royal family . week for the royal family. >> sarah—louise robertson will give us the details . this is

give us the details. this is saturday morning live on gb news, where britain's news

>> welcome back to saturday morning live. queen camilla has paid tribute to past and present servicemen and women on armed forces day today. in a heartfelt message, she described the people who serve as a source of inspiration , reassurance and inspiration, reassurance and pride and a lovely new photograph of the king in military uniform has been released to mark the occasion too. >> meanwhile, this week prince harry opened up about the pain of losing his mother and of course, princess anne. the princess royal has been in hospital. god bless her. >> well, joining us now in the studio to reflect on what's been a very busy week for the royal family, is broadcaster sarah—louise robertson. thank

you. hello. good morning sarah. >> now starting with queen camilla's message there, just how important is that relationship between monarchy and our servicemen and women? >> the two are intertwined . they >> the two are intertwined. they go hand in hand because the monarch is the boss of the royal services. so they serve in honour of the king of the monarch. so their relationship is so closely, embodied with each other. so one can't really function without without the other. >> do you think the queen consort did a good job? >> i think she did a wonderful job. i was so interested to see how she approached this. and let's not forget, queen camilla is the daughter of major bruce shand. he served in the regiment, the royal lancers. it's something that's very important to her. she's a military daughter. she's being brought up in military life. she understands it. she understands what other officers spouses are going through as well and also

serving serving forces. spouses are going through. so she sees all sides of it. and i think she's a great, great spokesperson to be talking out for, for the armed forces and speaking speaking up for them. and armed forces day because they really don't get enough help from, from the government. and a lot more needs to be done. >> and, you know, i was just about to admit to a bit of a blonde moment there because when we were speaking earlier, emma webb about the king's portrait, i thought, oh wow, haven't they done a really good job at that painting? >> it's a photograph. >> it's a photograph. >> it's a photograph. >> a photograph. >> a photograph. >> and also it was taken. that photograph was taken last november before obviously, we knew about king charles's cancer diagnosis. so he he does look very good in it. you know, he looks well , so it was, it was an looks well, so it was, it was an old photograph, but very, very regal. >> i think it's very regal. >> i think it's very regal. >> yes. >> yes. >> i think it's much better than that red paint. jonathan. >> oh, that . jonathan. yeah. one >> oh, that. jonathan. yeah. one that has grown on me a little bit . have you. yes. i haven't bit. have you. yes. i haven't

yet. i haven't yet , but when i'm yet. i haven't yet, but when i'm looking at it it's starting to sort of grow on me. at first i was i was like you. i said, oh my goodness, what have they done? because it's kind of like what you would imagine someone like chairman mao. yes and yes. >> i think it's a bit too have. >> i think it's a bit too have. >> yes, that's what i mean. >> yes, that's what i mean. >> all that rebellion had already been at it. yes. >> i think this is what hugo burton's done, with this portrait of king charles is absolutely beautiful. and i think it's a really fitting recognition of, of the king. and also how important he is to our armed forces. and they serve in honour of him. he is their boss. do you think that, camilla sort of stepping up in this way, obviously the situation with, the king and the princess of wales as well, that this is emphasising actually the need for, you know, not just a focus on the monarch as such, but also for the broader royal family to support the monarch, of course, and to ensure its strength and continuity when things inevitably do happen. because, you know, the king is the king

is immortal and humans do get unwell. >> of course, this is it. well, again, it's seeing queen camilla. she's starting to come into her own now. she's starting to get a little bit more confident. i mean, this is a woman who. she didn't want this life. she was happy just being at home with her dog. she always joked about how she . she just joked about how she. she just wanted to be a kind of housewife, really. and we were saying earlier how extraordinary it is to actually hear her speak. >> i didn't know what her voice sounded like and i didn't realise that queen camilla, she is the warmest, most engaging lady. >> she loves a gossip. she has a real twinkle in her eye, i mean, let's not forget what she she let's not forget what she she let slip about president biden's visit when it was the climate change summit, we won't go into that on air. but, you know, she's she's a very funny, very warm , engaging lady. and she's warm, engaging lady. and she's just incredible for king charles. she she really knows how to handle him. and he can't be without her for more than a minute. he he flaps. he gets upsetif minute. he he flaps. he gets upset if she's not around. so she's like this safe, trusted pair of hands who brings out, i think, the best, the best in the

king, and people just to take her when they meet her. they really do. she takes a genuine interest in people. >> now, what about prince harry? so earlier this week, there was a story about the portraits of him and meghan. and now he's done this interview talking about his mother. >> and it's again, it's actually his the comments that he's been making about well, actually like i mean , you know, i'm no lover i mean, you know, i'm no lover of harry, but i think what he's been saying on behalf of this, we're going back to the armed forces charity about a charity about young people, who have been bereaved because their parents have have died while serving their country. >> yes. >> yes. >> this is scotty's little soldier. so he met with a widow overin soldier. so he met with a widow over in the united states who had to break the news to her five year old son that that his father had had been killed, which is horrible, which is horrific, which is horrific. so for once, harry is actually doing something good with with this, i have to say, i'll give it. i'll give him that. the kudos for that there. but i just

feel there's been so much when obviously you made that remark. darren because it's almost like how he talks to the dead more than more than that child. and that film, sixth sense, he goes on about it such a lot , doesn't on about it such a lot, doesn't he? and i think we've all had a bit of emotional harry or harry and diana fatigue, shall we say , and diana fatigue, shall we say, the amount of times he talks about her. william doesn't go on about her. william doesn't go on about his mother as much. it's like harry's just sort of taken oven like harry's just sort of taken over. well he's stuck there. he's stuck there in this thing of grief and it's ironic, really, because he's talking about how to overcome grief, but he doesn't seem to have i don't think anybody should be taking mental health advice from prince harry, but i think he's hot in this, in this instance, to give him his juice. his heart was in the right place and he hugged that. he hugged them. and, you know, i think he he loves children. of course he does. he genuinely does care. and so i think for once, his heart was in the right place with this. but it just seems because it's because he's talked about it such a lot. and as you say, he's stuck in this grief cycle. >> i had read, though, that it's

an obsession. yes, well, prince william and prince harry had years ago now had said that they wouldn't keep bringing up princess diana in this way, because actually invoking that to sort of commercialise the death of diana, i'm not saying he's doing that in this very laudable instant, but there's an element of , oh, harry. element of, oh, harry. >> no, you know, no, it's all right . right. >> it's and it's always on the same subject . and i think we same subject. and i think we would just like to see him sort of. i don't know, just show that he's moving on from it. really. >> do you just very quickly do you get a sense that he's trying? he's almost moving back into his old royal role in way. >> well, this is very interesting because obviously with what's going on with the royals, with king charles, with cancen royals, with king charles, with cancer, with with, princess catherine, the princess of wales, also having cancer. >> and then we've seen what's happened with the princess royal being in hospital. this idea of a slimmed down monarchy . now, a slimmed down monarchy. now, i know a lot of people would have have issues with harry coming back. but what's sad, what is sad is that harry walked away

from his royal duties and we could have really done with him right now, being a working member of the royal family standing up, he should have been talking on behalf of the armed forces, for his father had he stayed and this whole mess hadnt stayed and this whole mess hadn't happened with with meghan and them running away. i mean, he's given up all of that, all of that duty for. for what? he's turned his back on all of that honoun >>i honoun >> i expect he must regret it for some baubles from from hollywood. and especially now, we didn't get the baubles. i didn't even get the baubles. >> this is it gets smaller and smaller. anyway, sarah, we're going to have to leave it there. but thank you very much for that insight. >> i know we could have gone on and on and on. >> right. we've got lots more to come on the show today, including the quintessential british cream tea. but first of all, we're going to get the news headunes all, we're going to get the news headlines with sophia wenzler. >> darren. thank you. it's 1130.

that particular question. yeah, or he can. >> but he doesn't want to know. >> but he doesn't want to know. >> indeed, indeed. i think everyone that's got a couple of brain cells to rub together is aware of what the actual truth is on that issue , but he knows is on that issue, but he knows that it's not political within his own party, so kevin says the royal family are privileged beyond belief, but they are family and they've been having a very tough time. i'm very proud of them. and one thing that the royal family are indeed proud of and very, very important to is the armed forces . so we like to the armed forces. so we like to celebrate the work of on this very show, we celebrate the work of one incredible individual each week, whether they've smashed a new record or done some amazing charity work or such else . such else. >> so this week is a little different though, as it is armed forces day. so we're celebrating all of those veterans serving military personnel and families involved in the armed services. >> indeed, the armed forces charity ssafa are marking today

with a fundraising walk through london, where around a thousand people are taking part. >> we can cross live now to gb news, south—east of england. reporter ray addison, who is at the finish line of the ssafa charity walk. hi ray . charity walk. hi ray. >> hi there guys. yes, i'm here in eel brook common in chelsea. this is the finish of the 13 bridges challenge of course, it started all the way back by the tower of london. that's about a ten mile route that they've been taking. crossing 13 bridges exactly as the title suggests, including a tower bridge. london blackfriars, westminster. lambeth. the list , of course, lambeth. the list, of course, goes on, the final bridge being at chelsea bridge, ending up here in this beautiful location, you should be able to see the finishing line behind me and they've started to arrive already. they've set off in groups at about 8 am. this

morning. we've had the first 2 or 3 groups of runners joining us so far. now, as you said, around a thousand people have been taking part in this. so the last group is actually going to leave from tower bridge at around about 1:00 this afternoon. so it's a nice long day to find out all about the military and to obviously, those £25 donations that people have been making as well to really help to support those who are serving or former military personnel. it also supports army cadets and royal navy cadets as well . so in cadets and royal navy cadets as well. so in their time of need now i'm joined. now by as one kate oldershaw. she's a royal auxiliary air force. soldier. come join us now. kate, thanks for joining us today. what's your involvement today, so i've come down here with my squadron to be the face of the raf, but also to be the face of the royal

auxiliary air force, which is, to us is a very important part of the whole force representation of the armed forces. and we're here to provide our support to cheer on the participants as they've come along. the bridges, my colleagues, are all scattered along the river, which is lovely. and, you know, to talk to passing members of the public to passing members of the public to entertain, you know, have conversations with them, speak to the children and engage them in, you know, what is the what is the armed forces about? and actually, they're like a lot of freebies as well, of course, is the hope that obviously, because we do have some current and former military personnel taking part in this 13 bridges challenge, but is the hope that maybe you could interest some people in, adding the military , people in, adding the military, maybe for a military career or auxiliary services? undoubtedly. i mean, obviously that's not the key focus of today. today is very much about ssafa and the work that they do . but yes, that work that they do. but yes, that would be a lovely by—product to encourage people to at least consider the armed forces. and if the rachel ayers is not an opfion if the rachel ayers is not an option for them doing something, as i'm doing, my colleagues are doing and join the royal auxiliary and giving up our free time to make a contribution to

serving, what does what does armed forces day and events like this. >> obviously the 13 bridges challenge happens every every year raises a lot of money. why is it important? what does it mean to those in the services? >> it means a huge amount, i think. i mean, if we reflect on other countries, i think historically we've not been as good at recognising the contribution of our armed forces. that absolutely has changed over recent years . and changed over recent years. and it's great to see, and it's, you know, it's an opportunity for the public to recognise the contribution that they make. i think sometimes, yes, there's a lot of stuff in the news and they, they hear the negative, but you know, the armed forces isn't just about conflict. it's about helping the communities. you see us out in emergency situations. you see us out at charity events like this. we pay a huge part in the support of this country. and it's lovely that the public recognise that and get to acknowledge it . and get to acknowledge it. >> now, i know obviously you're not here representing the charity that's organised this, this event, but i'm sure obviously through talking to those who are serving those in the auxiliary services as well,

that you kind of hear about how they do get help from organisations such such as this . organisations such such as this. could can you tell us any examples of how people get benefit from this kind of activity? >> not not specific examples as such, but yes , i mean, i think such, but yes, i mean, i think the important thing to note is about ssafa is it is tri services. it's also not just about regulars and veterans. it's about the whole armed forces community. so families as well . and that's absolutely key. well. and that's absolutely key. and they're there to help in any way they can. i mean it's really as broad church as that. so it could be from welfare support, looking at housing, even supporting adoption, anything like that, where members of the armed forces need some assistance, some some guidance and yes, the servicemen and veterans particularly, perhaps falling on hard times, and they be able to guide them where they can get additional support. there so there really are the whole gamut in terms of support for the armed forces community as a whole . as a whole. >> as one. aldershot, thank you so much forjoining us. we really do appreciate it. well, one of the fascinating things about this event is that there are marshals all along the route

. so people who are taking part, like two women i met just earlier, they said they've got no connection to the military, but they decided to come and join, find out more about it, speak to those marshals and learn how they can get involved. to help support our veterans. so really, really worthy event. and it's going to last here for very many more hours to come. >> great stuff. thank you very much for that, ray. now we're at a really nice to hear what saffron actually gets up to because i like those two ladies. ihadnt because i like those two ladies. i hadn't shamefully heard what they do either. and one of our viewers has written in to say, where is the pride in our armed forces? is there just pride in rainbow flags? because of course, we get an entire month for lgbt plus whatever, and we don't talk about armed forces enough. i don't think . enough. i don't think. >> yeah, i think it's, it's there's a sort of it's a whole part of our character as a nafion part of our character as a nation that's being suppressed. you know, i'm my granddad was in the navy during the war, and i'm very proud of it. >> yeah. so he should be definitely. >> well, so coming up, the

moment that i've been waiting for to mark national cream tea day, which was yesterday , we day, which was yesterday, we will be debating whether it is jam or cream first. in fact, we've already got some comments rolling in and it's quite a divisive subject. so let us know what you think and we will, be trying we trying it out later. so this is saturday morning live on gb news, britain's news channel. >> this election night we're putting on a party and you are ianed. invited. >> we'll be here with you, following all the twists and turns, as well as all the live reaction from our election night watch party with our gb news line—up . line—up. >> and as morning breaks, we'll be here with breakfast from 6 am. as it becomes clear who the winners and the losers really are. >> vote 2024 thursday, the 4th of july only on gb news britain's election

come on, put us right. >> in my opinion, yeah , >> in my opinion, yeah, definitely jam first. >> but i have to say, do you know what? as long as you enjoy it and it's delicious and you've got nice scone, nice jam, amazing clotted cream. who cares? paul? why? >> why the jam first? >> why the jam first? >> because i love that chilled clotted cream that you hit first, then into that room temperature jam and then that lovely baked scone and but one of our viewers has written in and said, actually, she puts the jam on first because otherwise you would get it all over. >> as in, it would wobble off on the top of the cream. >> but i think it's easier to dribble the jam onto the cream. you're not spreading the jam onto the cream if you put it on top . top. >> i would do jam first because it just seems to make less mess. so the jam spreads easier. >> then just a dollop of cream on top, you're all monsters. >> paul. tell us about your tasting menu. >> so we created a lovely, tasting menu. so again savoury scones, some sweet scones . this scones, some sweet scones. this part of the menu here is right

now we've got the most incredible cornish strawberries incredible cornish strawberries in season . so this first one i'm in season. so this first one i'm picking up here, we've just sliced them. so when they're this good, they're sweet , this good, they're sweet, succulent, juicy. we just put a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and some freshly grated lime on top. and then again top that with some clotted cream , the with some clotted cream, the lime, the clotted cream and the strawberries . amazing. this one strawberries. amazing. this one here. if you want to be a bit more kind of, you know, adventurous, get your strawberries really nice, fresh in season and we poach them in prosecco, star anise a little bit of hibiscus and thyme. and again let them cool down and then top them on top of your scone with clotted cream. and then finally the traditional way, as you can see here, jam first. yeah. this beautiful . first. yeah. this beautiful. now, ever since i moved to cornwall, for me there's one clotted cream and it's this one. it's the rodders. look at that crust on the top. my favourite. just so silky and smooth. yeah, i'm glad you say that because it

is absolutely incredible. and then just top that and absolutely i totally agree. you don't less mess. but a bit for me is just that chilled clotted cream. and then the rest of it, it's absolutely amazing i love it. >> yes of course paul, it. — >> yes of course paul, a it. >> yes of course paul, a bit like political parties, there are more than one cream brand. i'm aware, and i see dawn neesom has put together. what do you make of these poll? >> she's got herself a little taste to go semester and a display for you. >> there , dawn. >> there, dawn. >> there, dawn. >> i think that's absolutely incredible i love it. yeah very good. >> i'm no delia smith. am i to >> i'm no delia smith. am ito be honest. let's be honest here. >> unfortunately, i've made a bit of a hash of cutting mine. >> i did, but i've been getting to the cream . i've done jan to the cream. i've done jan first and i've done cream first. and to be honest with you, they both work. yeah. yeah. i mean, it's not that messy. >> yeah, yeah. as long as it's like you say, as long as it's delicious. >> is there much of a market for the, savoury ones that you have? >> yeah, yeah. i mean, i'll give

you a couple of examples, so if you a couple of examples, so if you really love that sort of scandinavian take, you know, when you have, like , smoked when you have, like, smoked salmon and rye bread and sour cream . so we took that cream. so we took that principle, that inspiration and we made a savoury scone. we obviously admitted the sugar, some lovely sea salt, beautiful butter . and some lovely sea salt, beautiful butter. and then in there we put chives and spring onions. we then topped it with some stunning, chalk stream trout. so again, beautiful british ingredients , clotted cream. ingredients, clotted cream. because people think clotted cream is sweet and it's not. it's again, it really does take other flavours. and then we grated some lemon and some fresh dill. another one we did was again a savoury scone. then you know, like when you fry an onions for a hot dog, like fairground onions. fold that through your skull mix, bake your scone so you've got this lovely, kind of like, lovely roasted stone isn't into it . roasted stone isn't into it. braised beef clotted cream , braised beef clotted cream, horseradish and watercress. oh my word . no. incredible. my word. no. incredible. >> well, you're very
